The woodsandwaves fitness towel offers an extremely pleasant feeling on the skin. The high-quality microfiber material feels soft on the skin and prevents any unpleasant rubbing or scratching. Thanks to the innovative processing, it not only dries within a very short time after each use, but is also antibacterial and odorless. It is also very light and compact. These properties make it the ideal companion in the gym, for home training or on the go. Cleaning is uncomplicated: It can easily be washed in the washing machine at 30 °C . The well thought-out additional functions offer real added value. The towel is equipped with a zippered pocket in which small items can be safely stored during training. The magnetic clip makes it easy to hang on equipment and the equipment cover prevents machines from slipping during exercise. The two differently designed sides make it easier to distinguish between the body side and the equipment side. Woodsandwaves offers an impressive selection of 18 unique designs. The size was adapted by the manufacturer from 90 x 45 cm to 120 x 45 cm at the customer’s request. However, it should be noted that the tested model differs slightly in size (117 x 43 cm).

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, customers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. Customers praise the high quality, the design and the practical additional functions. Some criticisms relate to the size and price. The manufacturer has already responded to customer requests regarding the size.

The fitness towel from woodsandwaves is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of € 24.90 – € 34.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
